Reviews

Effective Teaching in Schools' is a brilliant introduction for new teachers, PGCE students, or prospective PGCE students.
I have found the book to be intelligently written, and very clear. It constantly keeps in focus the aims of the teacher, and each chapter is broken down very clearly with objective, discussion, summary, and then further points to consider. The author is an experienced teacher who gives sound advice, and seems to take a good, common-sense approach.
Incidentally, the book is nicely laid out: an easy-to-read font, and easy-to-hold size. The paper is good quality, and it isn't so glaringly-white that you stop reading with a mild headache.
I think, for people who want to end up good teachers, this is definitely a book you should consider reading. - Amazon Product Review
